Let me fix this for you.
If you watch the released 711 store video it’s not possible to see what race Trayvon was MOST OF THE TIME. He was basically covered completely up. EXCEPT WHEN HE LOOKED DIRECTLY INTO THE CAMERA.
It would have been almost impossible for George Zimmerman to tell for sure what race the intruder was.
dispatcher:
“OK, is he White, Black, or Hispanic?”
Zimmerman:
“He looks black.”
He “LOOKS” Black. Meaning he wasn't SURE what race the suspicious person was. Also, he was only given three choices. He was trying to be helpful to the police and had to choose from those three choices. He DIDN'T volunteer that the suspect was Black. You can even hear the doubt in Zimmerman's voice.
Racial profiling MY A$$!
Myself, I personally advocate all kinds of profiling. It's STUPID not to profile.
Agreed. If a (insert race) male with a red jacket and red pants just held up a store and you happened to be that race, wearing that exact outfit and also in the area, I'm pretty sure the cops would stop and question you.
I wore hoodies and sometimes ski masks when I was in colder climes but I always removed them before going into stores. Hoodies are functional but cut off too much of your peripheral vision.
